Hello Adam, Sincerely, I appreciate this advice.I have a friend who had asked me to leave CCIE voice because of the much I will spend on gears before I can make a mastery of the technologies. However, I would appreciate a quick start of what I need to start and then plan a saving to get gears or rent rack space here in Nigeria. Please, I will be consulting your expert advice from time to time till I have gone into full gear. Thanks a great deal.

Many vendors have their own certification programs and quite a few are actually comparable but I think its fair to say that the CCIE is the gold standard and is recognised and respected beyond Cisco environments. When I was working on and achieved my CCIE in R&S I was working for a direct competitor to Cisco and my employer saw value in me achieving the certification because it helped with customer credability and if tenders came in and were written in "Cisco speak" you could deconstruct things to sometimes find a better value proposition with a different product or technology or at the very least be aware of what you were up against. Many people can get by without a bootcamp, so it's not 100% essential, however particuarly when you find it difficult to dedicate the time to study, and are looking for a concentrated does of technology and enthusiasm from other students, the bootcamp environment cant be beaten. The CCIE marathon is not a race against anyone else except you and the blueprint, everyone's stituation is different and if you can sneak a few hours in early in the morning or late in the evening when the rest of the family is in bed, if you can read books, command references, listen to AoD information on the bus or during your lunch break it's all useful. The best driver to see things through to the end is to realise why you want to get the CCIE, sometimes it may mean a better job and more pay but I think that should be seen as an ancillary benefit at best because that may not always be the outcome and if you were after money perhaps looking at management or sales may be a more optimal outcome - really it's about proving you know the technologies and can face the lab and come through with a pass - this is especially important when time gets short and the motivation is drying up - only you can determine why you wanted to start the journey and only you can complete it. Certainly workbooks, mocklabs and mailing lists like this make it so much more managable because even though you're on your own journey, there are others that are on their own paths, or have already gotten through it and are thinking about another track or just wanting to help candidates along. If all you have is GNS3, I don't think you'll find it enough on its own particuarly for the more advanced switching technologies but it is certainly able to get you a lot of the way into the routing aspects.
